QUIZ RECAP

There is nowhere better to ring in International Women’s Day than Idle Hour on a Tuesday Night. We had seven rounds of the best question-based bar game you could hope for: King Trivia! With 26 teams, endless appetizers, and perhaps too many tequila shots, we threw a party for the record books. 

The first few rounds were easy fair, with a massive tie clogging the top spot. As we pushed past the picture and theme rounds, a select group of challengers separated from the pack. Real Housewives of NoHo and Quiz on Your Face pushed out some mean doubles, and suddenly seemed to be stealing the show. However, this was as hungry a group as we’d ever seen, and nothing is certain until after the drinking round!

We challenged our teams with some International Women’s Day trivia, leading to Real Housewives earning free shots (with a close second to Hot Uncle Leo). Now all that was left was a battle royale toward the end of the show. 

Ace Tomato Company took advantage of a simpler connection round and catapulted into first place. But after Round six, Kingbeez stole the spotlight with a powerful double! It was truly anyone’s game as we went into the final round. It all came down to who had the most ice cream in their freezer. 

When the final scores arrived, we crowned our top three: In a HUGE upset, There’s Something About Putin took 1st! Kingbeez had second, and Dawgy Style hit third. 

Don’t miss another minute of the best trivia show in town. Join us at Idle Hour every Tuesday at 8PM. 

QUIZ RECAP

It was a hot night in NoHo, and that was before we even started throwing down the HOTTEST trivia in town. That’s right. Idle Hour was alive with the fiery spirit of King Trivia! 22 teams arrived for a Battle Royale of the quizzical variety. 

We had some smarties in the room tonight, with our first three rounds leading to massive ties at the top of the board. It was looking like a difficult night to pick a winner…until Overeducated, Underinformed swept into the lead with a powerful grab in Guess Who. 

For our Drinking Round, we chose to celebrate National Peanut Butter Lovers Day and asked how many peanuts were needed to create enough peanut butter to fill a 12 oz jar. With an astoundingly close guess, Kingbeez grabbed the free shots! Would it be enough to secure another victory?

As we sped through our second half, Overeducated held onto their lead by the skin of their teeth, but a number of teams fought to unseat them from the throne. Hawt Dogs and Quiz Kid Donnie Smith threw out every answer they could manage, along with double downs and even a bid for some extra points (we did have a birthday in the room after all). In the end, it all came down to the final round. 

In the end, the experienced Overeducated, Underinformed delivered a crushing blow, securing their victory. They were followed by the excellent duo of Hawt Dogs (winner by tie-breaker) and Team Edward. 

Join us every Tuesday at 8pm for more King Trivia!

QUIZ RECAP

A wild and crazy night at Idle Hour. Standing room only as HUGE parties took up much of the dance floor…and most of the trivia teams. We had 24 groups coming to play, and no one was ready to go home early. It was about to be a throwdown…exactly how we like it. Welcome to King Trivia!

Our teams hit the ground running with a Battle Royale for the top spot. In Rounds 1-4, we swapped leaders with each new score. It was insanity! Who was destined to become our grand champion? 

As today was National Margarita Day, we asked our teams a controversial question: When was the margarita invented? While there are numerous accounts, we went with a commonly accepted year and awarded newcomers 4th Place to free shots! Sure, there was some grumbling, but nothing a few margaritas wouldn’t cure. 

Then came a thunderous Round 5, in which veteran team Agents of the Zeitgeist came roaring from the middle of the pack to the second spot. Nearly ten teams were within spitting distance of victory. As always, it would come down to our final round to decide the victor. 

As the dust settled, we crowned our leaders: Diana Spencer’s Gifts, 4th Place, and Class of ’69.
